162: Understand the original intention clearly

“The second round of assessment is over. Only four of you are left. Do you want to continue or withdraw? I kindly remind you that nothing will happen if you withdraw now.”

“But if you choose to continue, once you fail, you will die, a complete and utter death. Are you sure you still want to continue?”

As he finished speaking, Waterman Bengka’s gaze turned sharp.

Upon hearing this, Li Feng and the other three changed their expressions simultaneously.

They had no doubt about Waterman Bengka’s words.

He did possess the power to kill Lords, and the previous examples were still vivid in their minds.

Fireman Laka glanced at his companion, frowning slightly.

Their master was not so harsh; after all, his standards were extremely high, and the assessments he set were very difficult.

The first two rounds were merely appetizers, just to eliminate those who were trying to muddle through, as well as Lords who lacked both background and strong luck.

The third round was the main course.

The difficulty of the assessment would not just soar; for some geniuses, the starting point would be hellish.

In such a situation, who knew how many people would fail here.

If failing the assessment meant death, it also meant that information about the assessment content could not be passed on.

Everyone would only know that this was an assessment with a hundred percent death rate, and those who died were top-tier geniuses.

Even some true geniuses who could pass, facing such an unknown death threat, would probably stop out of fear.

In that case, it would take an eternity to find a genius to inherit their master’s legacy.

However, since his companion had already spoken, he did not contradict him.

“Tell me, what is your choice? Withdraw or continue?” Waterman Bengka pressed on, his gaze still sharp.

“I… I will continue.” Shuang Wuhen gritted his teeth, choosing to continue.

“Continue!” Akayera and Silver Blood glanced at Shuang Wuhen, then said in unison, their words full of strong confidence.

“Very good, what about you?” Waterman Bengka then looked at Li Feng.

“Continue or withdraw?” Li Feng was caught in a huge dilemma.

The True God’s legacy was indeed very attractive.

But his own life was also very important.

With the Zerg Scourge Calamity Talent, his future stretched endlessly before him; even without any legacy, becoming a god should not be too difficult.

“Afraid of death? Do you think that with your talent, you will definitely become an eternal and immortal god in the future, and can even spend long years pursuing the realm of a True God?”

Waterman Bengka saw the hesitation on Li Feng’s face and sneered.

Hearing this, Li Feng looked up at Waterman Bengka; he indeed had such thoughts in his heart.

“Timid and cowering, yet you wish to become a god? If you don’t have sufficiently firm belief, the Divine Fire Tribulation alone can turn you to ashes, let alone aspiring to godhood? Historically, many geniuses have died at that stage.”

Upon hearing this, Li Feng’s eyes flickered.

Only then did he realize he had fallen into a misconception.

Indeed, the most difficult part of breaking through to godhood was not gathering Troops, but the Divine Fire.

Li Feng had once heard that the Divine Fire Tribulation could not be passed by those without firm resolve.

Looking back, Li Feng had always had a drive.

In his previous life, to achieve a better life, he had pushed himself so hard with that drive that he ended up transmigrating.

Even after transmigrating, Li Feng, with this drive, studied diligently and became a top student.

But ever since he awakened the Zerg Scourge, everything had gone smoothly for him.

His strength grew, but his inner self became weaker instead.

If it were his previous life, if an opportunity to become a billionaire was presented to him,

even if he knew it was a near-certain death, he would definitely agree without hesitation.

“I choose to continue!” Li Feng’s eyes instantly became firm.

Seeing this, Waterman Bengka felt a sense of relief.

He was afraid that Li Feng would choose to withdraw out of fear of death.

“Very good, since all four of you have chosen to continue, let’s begin the third and final assessment.” Waterman Bengka nodded.

“Final?” The four of them were stunned simultaneously.

“What, did you think there would be many assessments? The first round was just to eliminate some muddlers, and the second round eliminated some slightly mediocre individuals.”

“Those who can pass the first two stages, to be honest, are considered geniuses even in the Great World. However, my master doesn’t need geniuses, but prodigies, so there is a final stage.”

“This stage, unlike the previous two, does not allow the use of any external forces; you can only rely on your own abilities.”

After hearing the explanation, Li Feng was still a bit confused, but the other three nodded.

They came from the most powerful forces in the Middle World and had also encountered geniuses from the Great World.

While the Great World’s upper limit was high, that was an upper limit for the divine level.

In terms of talent, the gap between geniuses in the Great World and the Middle World would not be too large.

It was merely that their numbers were far greater than in the Middle World.

This was also why the three of them were confident in continuing forward.

After all, they were almost at the ceiling of genius, so they naturally had the confidence to claim the True God’s legacy.

“The third round of assessment has begun.”

Li Feng only felt the voice becoming more and more ethereal, as if from an infinite distance.

With a glance, he had unconsciously arrived on an Island.

“The third round of assessment will last for one month. You have one day of safety, after which you will face monster attacks. The monsters will grow stronger every day, and once your Lord Altar is destroyed, that will be your time of death.”

Fireman Laka’s voice echoed in the ears of Li Feng and the other three, briefly introducing the rules for the third round of assessment.

“Is it similar to the novice assessment?”

Li Feng opened his information panel, which was completely empty.

Everything he had gained on the Endless Continent had been cleared, and his strength was forcibly reduced to that of an ordinary person.

Troops, heroes, resources… all gone!

All that remained were three altars and his Talent.

One Lord Altar and two origin Troops altars.

On the Endless Continent, the Lord Altar was extremely important; once destroyed, the Lord would immediately lose their Lord status, and if they died again, they would be kicked out of the Endless Continent.

And in this third round of assessment, the Lord Altar was even more crucial.

Once destroyed, it meant death!

Lord: Li Feng

Troops Quantity: 0

Troops Type: Tier 1 Beedrill

wood: 0

Stone: 0

Iron Block: 0

Food: 0

Gold Coins: 0

“Novice assessments start with 1000 units of resources each; this is truly ruthless, not a single bit of resource.”

Li Feng closed the information panel and began to survey his surroundings.

Since he had chosen to continue, there was no point in complaining; he just had to move forward bravely.

The weak complain about the environment; the strong adapt to the environment.

“And I will make the environment adapt to me!”

After understanding his true self, Li Feng’s mindset swelled unprecedentedly….
